    Physician leaders are pivotal to the future of healthcare, yet the transition from practicing clinician to full-fledged executive presents myriad challenges. Those clinicians looking to make the transition must not only learn the skills and competencies required for their position but also develop a keen understanding of their own strengths and limitations. Topics of discussion include the current healthcare landscape, strategies for aspiring and developing physician leaders to determine whether senior leadership is right for them, best practices for acquiring requisite skills and obtaining experiences required of key leadership roles, a methodology for understanding one's own leadership tendencies in comparison to others, and proven, practical advice for navigating one's career.

    Learning Objectives:

    • Provide developing physician executives with the context and tools to progress in their careers and prepare themselves for increasingly impactful roles, with an eye on moving into C-suite positions.
    • Leave with increased self-awareness, greater exposure to success stories and lessons for learning, and appreciation of potential challenges and opportunities to develop their brands, experience, and competencies as physician leaders.
